During a post-exploitation session, you have an interactive Meterpreter shell on a fully patched Windows 10 workstation. To cover your tracks before disconnecting, you want to erase the Application, System, and Security event logs in one step. Which Meterpreter command accomplishes this?
The Meterpreter command "clearev" invokes Windows API routines that open the three primary event log channels-Application, System, and Security-and truncate them, effectively wiping all existing records. This is the quickest way to remove evidence of activity from the Windows Event Viewer. "timestomp" only alters file timestamp metadata, "getuid" displays the user context of the current Meterpreter session, and "hashdump" extracts password hashes from the SAM database; none of these commands interact with event logs.
